I’ve had a few strange things happen to me.
When I was about 8, I was standing in my great aunt’s driveway, because my family was getting ready to leave. I looked up into a second floor window and saw a black shadow staring out the window. In a split second, it looked like this shadow was being sucked into something, it just disappeared really fast and sort of stretched as it did it. There was no one in the house. It was standing in the bedroom and the spot where it looked like it was being sucked into a was a solid wall.
There was another time when I was trying to get some rest after getting over the flu. I heard really loud talking, like a bunch of jabbering. I opened my eyes and there were a bunch of men standing around every side of my bed. They were all dressed in old clothes, like old suits. Every one of them was talking and looking at me, but I couldn’t understand anything they were saying. I told them to go away and they stopped talking. The next time I opened my eyes they were gone. This really freaked me out.
My aunt used to live in a haunted apartment. Her phone would ring all night, so she unplugged them from the wall. It still rang. There would also be knocks on the wall and sounds of running up and down the hallway. I hated staying the night there.
I was woken up one morning by my mother calling my name. She clearly said, “Jesse.” I went down the stairs to see what she wanted. No one was home. But when I looked out the window, she was just pulling in the driveway. This is probably the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to me.

Yes. Rather than re-write it all here, perhaps you wouldn’t mind browsing my ‘starred questions’ to hear some stories, all true.

I was with my friends outside jumping on the trampoline, and my friend’s little sister would always want to jump with us, But she didn’t want to. She did not want to go in her tree house. She would want to stay inside. And she would never be like this, She would always want to be outside. And when we go inside she would run and get everything that was left outside back in as if something was going to take the stuff away.And she would keep repeating “im scared, Im scared” And she would love to play monsters, but when we would say roar or boo to her she would burst out in tears. She would stay inside and play with her chinese doll, and nothing else. The doll had weird eyes. Do you think its just her or the doll? Please help me! She maybe caught this by going to the park. I need help! My friend needs some help! But most of all think of her!

Not until recently, no. But I bought an old house and now it seems we have a ghost. I came on here for info about how to deal with it…

(It is not a particularly scary ghost, and I have decided to let her stay, since she seems to watch over our daughter !)

Yes. In fact I still see them. I can hear, see, and talk to these ghost/spirits. Some of them are nice, some are creepy, some are mean, and once I met a clean freak! Most are very loving. There is one, Sally Grace, who I talk to or see at least once a week. This is probably due to the fact that her grave is at the graveyard down the rode from my house! She is about 7 and is very sweet. Some ghost/spirits are very different from living people, but, I have learned, most are like everyday humans. They just, most of the time, can’t be seen or heard.

Well, I just wrote out a very bad experience I had, but it erased itself, so I won’t share that one, computer glitch? I once lived with a ghost that would turn around every nic nac in the house. I would get up in the morning and they would all be facing the wall. Lights came on by themselves, u could actually hear the switch being flipped because it was such an old house. Once, while showering, and I was home alone, the shower curtain was hit really hard, scared the stuffing out of me and i yelled at it to get out of the bathroom. He never bothered me in there again. My kid saw him twice. Things got quiet for a couple of weeks and I made the comment to my friend that the ghost hadn’t been messing with my stuff lately. The next morning, what do u know, my nic naks were all facing the wall again. I have other stories, but i will share them another day. Hope u found this one as amusing as I do

LOL “the bogeyman” was watching me 2 nights ago as I tried to sleep.
Seriously. I feel ghosts but sometimes I see them!. Two nights ago I saw a head in my closet looking at me. When I took my phone to check what made the “shape” there was nothing so I know it was a head looking at me.
I’ve been sleeping in that room for close to 10 years. Nothing has happened to me yet.
On the rare ocation ghosts pet me and stroke me like you would do to a cat. but how do you sleep when that happens?

I am one of the organizers of the Columbus Ghost Trackers (Indiana) and the main reason I chose to start up a ghost tracking group was because of my own personal experiences living in homes with “additional guests”. The reason I refer to them this way is because if I tell people I live in a haunted house, people always think that the entities must be evil and that is not the case.
My first experience with a spirit occurred when I was 5 years old. The spirit in this home turned out being a soldier. The reason I know that is I was able to see him one night as clear as seeing a human body. He was dressed in fatigues with shiney black boots on. This spirit enjoyed moving things around the house to new locations, and he also enjoyed rocking in a rocking chair located in my brother’s bedroom.
Later on during my life, when my 4 kids were between the ages of 12 and 2, our family moved into another home that had spirits present. In this home, we heard voices of a man and a little girl. These spirits could even imitate our voices, at times, which could be frustrating but we soon learned that they would do it in order to make their presence known to us. We often times had items moved from one location to another especially in the kitchen area, we heard footsteps when no one was in that particular room that the footsteps were coming from, we saw brief shadows, the little girl enjoyed singing “Ring around the Rosey” at times up in my oldest son’s bedroom, etc… It was in this house that we all learned that spirits can pretty much do things that we are capable of doing but they do it just to make their presence known.
Today, my boyfriend and I have once again moved into a duplex home here in Columbus, IN that has spirits present. We have lived here for the past 5 years and we have known since the first day we moved in that we weren’t alone when we both witnessed shavers moving about in our shower stall. My boyfriend had never experienced living in a home with “others present”, but I knew when we witnessed that, that we weren’t alone. We have since discovered that our home is occupied by 3 spirits total. My boyfriend and my daughter’s boyfriend (they live next door on the other side of our duplex home) both have seen a male spirit on numerous occassions but at different times. Both of them described him as an older gentlemen dressed in a dark navy suit with a hat on. My daughter has seen a solid black shadow moving about on their side and the shadow appears to be the shape of a woman. Also, my daughter has experienced the sudden smell of flowery perfume at times which is another indication that a female entity is present here. The third spirit appears to be a little boy spirit. He enjoys turning on the TV in my granddaughter’s bedroom next door, he flips through the channels, and then turns her TV off. He also enjoys playing with toys in her room that both girls and boys are known to play with.
One day, I was getting a tape recorder ready to use on a group investigation when I accidentally hit the record button. My boyfriend was following me into our kitchen saying something when I suddenly said, “Oh No”. Upon saying that, my boyfriend became silent. I eventually got the recorder shut down and I rewinded it back to the beginning. I decided to play it back just to see what I had accidentally recorded. To our amazement, not only was my boyfriend’s voice on the recorder but once he got quiet, the voice of a small boy was also on there. The little boy was repeating the words that my boyfriend had said. Apparently, the little boy spirit was standing with us in the kitchen at the time this recording took place. His voice is real clear on the recording and if others didn’t know it, they would think it was the true voice of a living child…it was that clear. Of course, I have since taken that tape out and have now saved it as ample proof of his presence here.
Because of my experiences, I have helped organize our ghost tracking group. We are now a group that wants to learn more about the paranormal but at the same time, we want to help other people with activities that they might be experiencing and help them learn how to deal with it.

It is a gift, and only some people have it.
You might not experience it, because you’re not gifted.
I am not saying it is a bad thing, but it is hard to get used to it.
I don’t really like talking about it, because I feel like no one understands me.
Seriously, it is not easy to be in the position.
I can feel the energy around me, for example, around my house.
Last week, the energy was bad and I was absorbing it.
I talked to my cousin, he was one of the ones with the bad energy.
Now he is a bit more positive(not really).
I can feel people’s emotions, like when they are mad, sad, happy, excited, ect.
I can tell when someone is lying!
I can tell the way a person is, for example, if someone is a good person or bad person. Most of the time, I can tell you why they are a bad person.
I meet people and I either like them or I don’t.
No matter how nice they seem, I will never like them.
I know it is weird, but it is true and I feel like only some people understand me.
I know a couple of other people who are also gifted, and they have answers for me.
If they have been through a lot.
I know when something is going to happen, and that is not nice at all.
It has happened to me since a few years ago, but only sometimes it is stronger than me.
One of the times, was just a few weeks ago.
I have changed soo much since then, and I am normally a happy person.
It is probably one of the worst feelings I have felt.
I pray soooo much now.
I don’t know how to take this feeling away, although I know everything is going to be okay.
This one was about my cousin, and it is too long to type.
He is still in danger, and he needs to get in the right track.
Someone wants to get revenge, and they want to do it through him.
Though, someone told me I can prevent it from happening, and I can protect him.
That is what I am doing, but I still pray for him.
If god wants me to give up something, I will.
I just want to be happy again, and stop feeling this way.
It is stronger than me, and I am too young.
I know it is a gift, but I can’t seem to be understood.
It is soooo weird, and people might think I am crazy.
I know I am not crazy, and there is nothing that can change this.
Gifted people are suppose to use their gifts, and help others.
I can feel if there is someting around me, but I can’t see it.
I know someone who could see ghosts, and dead people; he is younger than me, but maybe because others in his famly are gifted he is not scared.
I might sound crazy, but I am not and others who are gifted know that.

we moved into this haunted house in 1966 when i was 13 and i’ve lived here most all my life so i’ve had lots of experiences. the first was only a couple of weeks after we moved in. my parents were away on vacation and my older cousin-who was just outta the army-was staying with us kids. we were having supper and heard a loud banging in the basement. i was the only one who would go look. when i went down there was a window swinging back and forth violently and banging into the casement. there was no wind and no reason for it go back and forth so violently. i reached up and closed and latched it. yes the latch would have to have been lifted for it to open in the first place. i went upstairs and finished supper like no big deal, i didn’t really think anything of it at that time. but it was only the first thing to happen. i’ve heard lots of footsteps, doors/windows open/close by themselves, been touched, things get moved and then put back; but no figures or voices. hope this helps you, good luck!

When I was about 10,( I’m 39 now) ,I was over at my friends house and only she and I were there.
I remember looking up and seeing a dark shadow of what looked like a human form “looking” at us with what seemed like curiosity.
Although there were no distinguishable features on this ‘shadow form”, I saw that half of its torso was in the doorway and it appeared to be holding onto the doorframe “looking” or “watching ” us.
Both she and I saw it yet, oddly enough ,we wern’t scared.
Another incident happened 8 years ago when i told my friend with whom I was walking to “Sit down right now” !!
As it happened, there was a bench just where I told her to sit, then i’d say 3 seconds later, 2 cars collided on the street and the front bumper of one came skidding onto the sidewalk just a couple of inches from where we sat. if we hadn’t have sat down right then and there, we would have had car parts smash our legs.
my parents have told me that I’ve read their minds and told them exactly what they were thinking about.
Stuff like that.

When I was five or six my mom put me in bed and turned off the lights. I closed my eyes to sleep and instantly felt someone was there so I opened my eyes. There was enough light from the corridor streaking into the bedroom and I saw a little child waving to me and with a large grin on his face.
I was intrigued – Who was he, how did he get in to our house? I edged forward to get a better glimpse of him and he bent down and hid at the foot of my bed. Then, without any notice, he popped back up and waved again with a hearty smile. I realized something was not right and I pulled the cover ove rmy face. When I finally managed to gather some courage and through my curiousity I looked again and he was gone…
Told my mom the next day and she said it was a dream. I know for a fact that I was not dreaming, I know…
